Lloyd's Register's Naval Rules turn 20

摘要

2019 marked the 20th anniversary of the first Naval Ship Technical Committee meeting, at which a group from Lloyd's Register (LR), navies from around the world and the defence industry set out to develop a unique set of rules for navies and the naval shipbuilding industry.Following this first meeting in May 1999, there was a period of intense collaboration which resulted in the release of a provisional set of Naval Ship Rules later that year, which are now applied to a range of vessels in the fleets of several navies. This includes the latest addition to the UK Royal Navy, the 65,000-tonne aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth, a project LR has been involved in since its inception in 2006.
